How do you figure? Press and slide to your desired volume in one motion. The new volume control is one of the reasons I now prefer the Touch Bar (in addition to scrubbing through media). I used to have to tap the volume button multiple times to get to my desired volume level but now I just tap/swipe and I'm done.

Edit: Looks like everyone else already said the same thing. Sorry!

It's interesting to me that people have such different reactions. I'm much more concerned with mute/unmute than with volume level. Not sure if that makes a difference. I don't mind a slight delay to change the volume of a youtube video or something, but when I need to respond on a conference call, I want to be able to instantly mute my volume.

You can still do that. If you just tap the volume button, it toggles between mute and unmute.

Without looking?

Why does that need to be a qualifier? Having to look at it doesn't bother me and, if I want to rely on muscle memory, I just plugin an external keyboard. When I'm editing media or coding, I don't mind needing to look at the Touch Bar at all.
